All posts for the day February 5th, 2009

You know how I’ve been lately with this bailout stuff. The people in the suits are taking advantage of this giving themselves bonuses, jets, vacations – what have you. It’s enough to make you sick, but I’ve already said that.

People tell me we have a slick suit in Cincinnati. Now I don’t know this Roger Ach guy at all but his name comes up in a lot of circles I’m in.

Ach is some kind of investment/banker. Maybe his name keeps coming up, because he always seems to give writers plenty to write about.

My friend, former owner and editor of the Downtowner, Doug Taylor, had some unpleasant businesswith Ach when he got involved with thatnewspaper. It tuned into Pulse, then under the watchful eye of Ach, died.

(By the way, Roger, I don’t want to pound this into the ground, but your empty Pulse boxes are still all over downtown and elsewhere. We reported on this back in November).

While I try really hard not to think of the guy, Ach’s name keeps coming up. Do a Google search on him. It’s a little amazing.

Did he really cheat an innocent party out of $50,000? I don’t know. Is he now not payinghis employees? I don’t know that either, but hell, there’s an entire web site devoted to his dealings. He doesn’t seem to make many friends.

Again, I don’t know the guy but he is an investment/banker of sorts. If anybody in Washington D.C. is reading this and if you’re connected with any of this bailout money being given away – if Roger Ach approaches you for a handout, maybe you should think twice about it.
